Product details
Overview
ADS7841ES/2K5G4 from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 4-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with synchronous serial interface, ±1 LSB INL/DNL, 72 dB SINAD, and operation up to 200 kHz conversion rate at +5 V. It supports single-ended or differential input configurations and features programmable 8-/12-bit resolution, internal sample-and-hold, and shutdown mode consuming <15 µW. It is deployed in high-precision, battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring extended temperature reliability.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7841ES/2K5G4 datasheet, ADS7841ES/2K5G4 pinout, ADS7841ES/2K5G4 application, or ADS7841ES/2K5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SSOP-16 package, –40°C to +125°C operating range, 2.7 V to 5 V single-supply operation, and compatibility with isolated serial interfaces for remote sensing.
Technical Context
The ADS7841ES/2K5G4 implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture with integrated multiplexer and sample-and-hold. Its analog front-end accepts four single-ended inputs (CH0–CH3) referenced to COM or two differential pairs, configurable via serial control bits (A2–A0, SGL/DIF). The CDAC-based conversion core operates synchronously with an external DCLK, requiring 12 clock cycles for acquisition and 12 for conversion in standard 24-cycle mode.
Digital control is handled through a 3-byte serial protocol over DIN/DOUT with CS and DCLK, supporting 8-bit or 12-bit output formats and three power modes (full, auto power-down, shutdown). The MODE pin fixes resolution to 12-bit when low, enabling deterministic timing for real-time embedded systems where jitter-sensitive sampling is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR with no missing codes; enables 1:4096 dynamic range for precision sensor digitization. |
| Conversion Rate | Up to 200 kHz at +5 V; supports real-time monitoring of fast transients in industrial control loops. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB max (typ); ensures monotonicity and linearity critical for closed-loop feedback accuracy. |
| SINAD | 72 dB at 10 kHz; delivers >11.6 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture in test equipment. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5 V single supply; allows direct interfacing with Li-ion batteries or 3.3 V/5 V logic domains. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C (ES grade); qualified for under-hood automotive or industrial edge nodes. |
| Package | SSOP-16 (DBQ); 5.3 mm × 6.2 mm footprint with 0.65 mm pitch, suitable for compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7841ES/2K5G4 is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin spacing is 0.65 mm; body dimensions are 5.3 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.75 mm. Recommended reflow profile complies with JEDEC J-STD-020C for moisture sensitivity level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9, +VCC | Power supply input | Dual VCC pins reduce supply impedance; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic + 1–10 µF bulk capacitor. |
| 2–5, CH0–CH3 | Analog input channels | Four independent single-ended or paired differential inputs; COM-referenced for zero-code alignment. |
| 6, COM | Analog ground reference | Sets zero code in single-ended mode; may be tied to system AGND or offset voltage for bipolar input ranges. |
| 7, SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low; reduces quiescent current to <15 µW-enables microamp-level sleep in portable instruments. |
| 8, VREF | External reference input | Unbuffered; accepts 0.1 V to +VCC; LSB = VREF/4096; requires low-noise, low-impedance source. |
| 10, GND | Analog/digital ground | Single ground pin; layout best practice: star-ground near VREF and COM, separate from digital return paths. |
| 11, MODE | Resolution select | Low = fixed 12-bit mode; eliminates software dependency on control byte MODE bit for deterministic timing. |
| 12, DOUT | Serial data output | High-impedance when CS = high; outputs straight-binary MSB-first on DCLK falling edge. |
| 13, BUSY | Conversion status flag | Active-high during acquisition/conversion; used for hardware handshaking without polling DOUT timing. |
| 14, DIN | Serial data input | Latches control byte on DCLK rising edge; accepts start bit (S), channel/address, and power-mode bits. |
| 15, CS | Chip select | Active-low; initiates conversion sequence and enables DOUT/BUSY; must remain low for full 24-clock cycle. |
| 16, DCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both conversion timing and serial I/O; max frequency = 3.2 MHz (200 kHz rate); CMOS-compatible. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable resolution (8/12-bit) | Reduces serial transfer time by 25% in 8-bit mode; enables dual conversions per 24-clock window for throughput scaling. |
| On-chip 4-channel multiplexer | Eliminates external analog switching components; supports time-multiplexed multi-sensor acquisition with <500 ns settling. |
| Auto power-down (PD1/PD0 = 00) | Cuts average supply current to ~3 µA between conversions-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| Reference flexibility (0.1 V to +VCC) | Enables direct digitization of mV-level thermocouple or bridge outputs without gain amplification stages. |
| CMOS-compatible digital interface | Supports mixed-voltage systems: DIN/DOUT tolerate 5.5 V regardless of +VCC (2.7–5 V), easing FPGA/microcontroller integration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7841EB/2K5 | Same SSOP-16 package and pinout; ±1 LSB INL/±3 LSB DNL (vs ±2/±4 for ADS7841ES/2K5); rated –40°C to +85°C only. | Lower temperature grade limits use in under-hood or high-ambient industrial environments. | Select ADS7841EB/2K5 only if full –40°C to +125°C operation is unnecessary and tighter INL is prioritized. |
| MAX1247ACPP+ | Pin-compatible 12-bit SAR ADC; 133 kSPS max rate; ±1 LSB INL; requires external reference; operates 2.7 V–5.25 V. | Lacks integrated multiplexer-requires external analog switch for multi-channel use; no shutdown pin. | Choose MAX1247ACPP+ only when board space permits discrete mux or when legacy MAX1247 design reuse is mandatory. |
Compared with ADS7841EB/2K5, the ADS7841ES/2K5 trades slightly relaxed linearity tolerance for guaranteed +125°C operation-critical for automotive or industrial edge nodes. Against MAX1247ACPP+, it integrates a 4-channel mux and shutdown control, reducing component count and power management complexity despite identical pin count.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for ADS7841ES/2K5G4?
The ADS7841ES/2K5G4 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C. This ES-grade temperature rating is explicitly confirmed in the SBAS084B datasheet's PACKAGE/ORDERING INFORMATION table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like ADS7841E (–40°C to +85°C). The device undergoes extended burn-in and characterization at high temperature to ensure parametric stability.
Does ADS7841ES/2K5G4 support true differential input mode?
Yes, ADS7841ES/2K5G4 supports true differential input via its internal multiplexer: setting SGL/DIF = LOW and selecting appropriate A2–A0 bits (e.g., 001 or 101) routes CH0–CH1 or CH2–CH3 as complementary inputs to the SAR core. The –IN input is limited to –0.2 V to +1.25 V, while +IN spans –0.2 V to +VCC + 0.2 V, enabling rejection of common-mode noise within that range.
How does the MODE pin affect ADS7841ES/2K5G4 resolution behavior?
When the MODE pin is held LOW, ADS7841ES/2K5G4 performs 12-bit conversions exclusively-regardless of the MODE bit value in the control byte. This eliminates ambiguity in timing-critical systems. When MODE is HIGH, the control byte's MODE bit selects 12-bit (LOW) or 8-bit (HIGH) output, enabling flexible throughput/resolution trade-offs in firmware-controlled applications.
What is the minimum reference voltage supported by ADS7841ES/2K5G4?
The ADS7841ES/2K5G4 accepts a minimum reference voltage of 100 mV, as stated in the REFERENCE INPUT section of the datasheet. At VREF = 100 mV, LSB size is 24 µV-but internal noise (~30 µVrms) dominates, causing code dithering. Stable operation requires VREF ≥ 250 mV for <1 LSB noise floor; TI recommends ≥500 mV for production designs.
Can ADS7841ES/2K5G4 operate from a 3.3 V supply while maintaining full 200 kHz throughput?
No-200 kHz throughput is specified only at +5 V supply (fCLK = 3.2 MHz). At +3.3 V, the maximum sample rate drops to 125 kHz (fCLK = 2 MHz), per ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS: +2.7V table. Attempting 200 kHz at 3.3 V risks timing violations, incomplete conversions, and degraded INL/DNL due to insufficient internal charge pump drive strength.
